Review of 'Just a Shot Away' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

A breathtaking wholly original look at a story you've heard or heard of 1000 times before. This book makes it matter now rather than 50 years ago. Read it if you're only dimly aware of what "Altamont" means in the history of popular culture. Read it if you think you know all too well. Either way, it's miraculous.
